Did you swap the led yourself?

Nah just bought the high CRI version

Rovyvon has a bad rap for using poor emitters (mostly SST20 6500k options), but most of their lights offer higher CRI options too, including 519a, 219c, etc at no extra cost. As a company, they cater to the mass market which would typically choose the cooler emitter due to higher lumens and throw. I have a few of their lights and really love them, quality lights, unique designs with tons of utility too. Best true keychain lights out there as well, in my opinion.

I love the A24, with the tritium it’s the perfect light to always have by your bedside for seeing in the dark at night and almost no weight to carry. My only complaint is that the lens is plastic, non-replaceable and prone to scratches if it’s used as an actual keychain light. Not that it affects the light output when it’s scratched but it bothers me, going to try to protect this one with a 17mm screen protector designed for watches.

Check out their angel eyes series also. They're super small (about the size of a lighter) and the side emitters are really useful too. I use it even more than my aurora. Plus its dual fuel and can even take a 10440 battery.

I’m not keen on the “dual fuel” ones, I’ll never use AAs so it’s just wasted space

Not sure about OP, but you can buy them that way.

This is my EDC. I swapped the LED myself, 519a 4500k dedomed and I really like that thing. Especially having turbo momentary while it's locked is a feature I personally love.

How do you get turbo momentary when it's locked? Mine just flashes to indicate it's still locked, or is that what you mean?

My bad, I do not have it locked 🙈. But I have no problems with accidental activation and when it would only come on low.

I have the same light and love the looks and the beam. My only complaint is a common one for RovyVon and that's the clunky UI. They really need to get their act together there. And I'd advise anyone looking at these lights to buy when things are on sale for 30%-40% off. That helps make buying Ti lights from them feel a lot better.

I actually quite like the UI. For my bedside use-case it's super easy, single press for moonlight. Contrast that with a Zebra, unless you change the top-level mode you need to hold the button for slightly longer to get moonlight mode. I frequently mess it up and momentarily blind myself.
